ABSTRACT

Mobile edge computing is edge computing that supports mobile devices using data repositories positioned close to the wireless infrastructure to keep the latency low. As mobile bandwidth increases and demands for data increase, the existing edge infrastructure is expected to change dramatically to support newer devices and applications in industrial, healthcare, manufacturing and other domains. The Fifth generation (5G) architecture caters to a wide range of services and applications with varying data rate and network bandwidth requirements. The 5G Automotive Association categorizes a comprehensive list of connected vehicle applications, categorized into four main groups of use cases: safety, convenience, advanced driving assistance, and vulnerable road user. The pervasiveness of the Internet of Things (IoT) is leading the way to a world of smart systems, applications and services. Mobile IoT powered by 5G is making this transformation possible with cloud and edge computing platforms.
